Red Bull F1 team leader Christian Horner summed up the F1 American Grand Prix, praising Max Verstappen's tyre control and rhythm adjustments. Horner expressed great concern about Verstappen's tyre condition and Mercedes Louis Hamilton's offensive.
Red Bull's switch strategy at F1 USA was to take the lead, so Verstappen changed the tire earlier than Hamilton, but the opponent Hamilton was able to attack Verstappen by delaying the change of tires and leaving a better tyre for the final stage of the race.
Commenting on the winning situation in the main race of F1 in the United States, Horner said: "Luis (Hamilton) has eight laps newer tyres than we do, and we are worried about whether the tyres will last until the end of the race. Fortunately, Max (Verstappen's) excellent tire management allowed the tires to survive the last five or six laps. ”
"We've talked about how to handle the exit at Turn 11 before, which is very important to protect the tyres. Everyone directed, Hamilton was quick in the final stages of the race and he had the ability to rewrite the outcome. ”
"It only takes two or three laps to lose the whole game, and in Montreal in the 2011 season, there was a lesson. If we lost, it would have been very uncomfortable, but Max persevered. He's done a great job, he's managed his tyres. ”
